I was maybe thinking of getting a car mount for my P769. Has anyone bought one or have one they might recommend?
I use the Mountek nGroove. It mounts in the CD slot and is very sturdy.

Was wondering if there was a car mount for this bad boy? I know ram makes a good car mount for the ipad, but im not sure if their cradle is adjustable because even though this is 10" i dont think it has the same shape haha..
i been looking at this one Car Mount it's adjustable so it might just work.
I was looking at that one eluminx. It didn't seem to get a good rating. Another one I came across was from the UK amazon site. I haven't looked for it on US site yet. Here's a link... http://www.amazon.co.uk/ULTIMATEADDONS-Mount-Holder-Medion-Netbook/dp/B003CI7Y74

Check mountguys.com, they have one for an android tablet, looks to be adjustable
I plan on using a sheet of Kydex to form around my gtab and canibalizing an old suction mount to mount it on. Then I can get those little adhesive suction discs and affix it once I find the best location.

How do you mount this bad boy to the windshield?
I ordered this one. It's for an Eee pc but it should work.

honestly i think that the gtab in the car would be pretty damn cool to use, however i think it just MIGHT be an obstruction of view if you guys were to get the windshield mounts for the tab, believe you will def get a few tickets for that from the local cops looking to meet 'quotas'. maybe if there was something where you can dock it say where the lighter is or in the middle console somehow but on the windshield prob isnt the best place for it, just my 2 cents

I agree, big time! I plan on mounting mine lower in my work van. I also plan on "fabricating" some sort of recessed dock type enclosure in my truck. I had plans for a carputer but I think a gtab dock would be way more convenient....and way sweeter!
Hoping to tap the knowledge of the guys at this forum. They build some awesome setups here. I know this isn't for the average person, but I am already half way there in my vehicle.

Is it the same size as iPad?

Bad idea... for my car anyways...
I drive an Evo with 600AWHP and a lots of grip. This thing will not be held by some suction cup.
I am looking to make a bracket of some sort for the center console.

I bought one of these iPad suction cup mounts from some random site on BensBargains.net and use it with a beanbag friction dash mount... on my desk. The setup is just too large and cumbersome to be placed on the dashboard. Not to mention the ball head mechanism never seems to get tight enough to hold the tablet steady when I touch anything on either the extreme left or right of the tab.
I saw this on the mountguys.com website:
http://www.mountguys.com/product_p/mfx-47-ipadtab.htm
What do you think? Is there enough holding power to safely craddle the Gtab? My only free space is really infront of the air vents. Any other issues or concerns?
Nice !
Would much rather that then the windshield mount
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I predict that it won't be long before you have a vent ripped out of your car and a tablet on the floor. These things are pretty heavy. Cell phone from a vent, ok.. Tablet? Not me...
I would love to have a mount in my truck for the gtablet. The cops might get a little curious if you did a windshield mount .
Has anybody bought a car mount yet? I'm looking for one that fits the tab even if I have to modify the base.
I bought one from Amazon but it only came with the window mount part. I used the part that holds the tab and secured it to my visor with some Velcro straps. Works well and I can flip it down to use or flip it up to drive.

I purchased this and in the description it states you can mount it to the ac vent. I sent an email to the sender because I did not see how this could attach to a vent and they refunded the money. The grip part holds the Gtab great. I Bought a yoga mat holder from walmart for 5$ to hold it to the visor.
amazon.com/gp/product/B003XDD2WY/ref=oss_product
Similar yoga strap. I cut the long strap and used the two loops to hold the mount.

I don't think that would work well. These tablets are too heavy to be held up safely with an air vent. The best solution would be a cup holder mount.

I agree, I want to mount it to the cup holder too.
vent mount no way... even the cup holder mount is borderline. i did see a mount that bolts to the floor where the seat does, now that would work! it had a arm that raised it up to the level desired.. thats the route im going.

I like this too, but I have a power passenger seat in my coupe and when you forward the back rest to enter the rear seat, the power see automatically slides forward. I am afraid it will push and bend the arm up against the dash as it does not look like it is very long.
what do you think?
I've been doing a lot of research trying to come up with a good solution to mount my Transformer in the map compartment of my car (03 Mazda 6) which is actually pretty large. The transformer will almost fit in it horizontally but I want something that will allow me to adjust and swivel it to be able to easily change my viewing angle so I was looking at some goose neck/swivel mount solutions but I wasn't sure if they would support the tablets ~1.5lbs weight. The goose neck solution I was looking at is made by ProClip (http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...ount-with-amps-hole-pattern-215181-13978.aspx) and I was thinking of just putting a PadTab (http://www.thepadtab.com) on the end of it since I can't find a holder for it yet. Does anyone know if the Motorola Xoom holder might work for it since the dimensions are nearly the same? Does anyone else have their Transformer mounted in their car in a similar way? If so, what solution are you using (besides a vent mount). Also if you have any suggestions on what may work I am open to hear them.
Actually after looking more online I'm thinking that this flex mount (http://www.panavise.com/index.html?pageID=1&page=full&--eqskudatarq=149) looks a lot sturdier than the one ProClip sells and I think it may be able to withstand vibrations a lot better and is cheaper which is also a plus lol.
There's someone on this forum that did proclip + pad tab.
I talked to the product manager at ProClip and they do not have any plans to develop a TF holder. The holders are very specific to the device so a Xoom may not work.
The pad tab seems like the only option but I don't want to stick that plastic square thing on the back of my TF...
Here is the link to that post...he has pictures and even a video:

Got mine mounted in my car today. Came up with a better/permanent solution since I don't trust the padtab to hold my device. Will post some pics tomorrow but here is what I used in case any of you were wondering..
RAM Mount Tab-Tite Holder (Model # RAM-HOL-TAB3U) -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004V9JA20
Panavise 6-Inch Stay-Put Flex Mount (Model # 782-06) -- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I7OQB4 (although it's really really hard to flex .. i guess that's what the stay-put means in the product name .. and it doesn't move when you drive at all so if you want that flexibility i would suggest a uniflex mount that panavise makes.)
I have an 03 Mazda 6S which has a map compartment that opens up above my radio which I then mounted the Panavise base to by drilling 3 holes in it for the mount and I put a metal sheet behind it (since the map compartment is plastic) for extra support so I can flex the mount if I need to. Other than that this has worked excellent.
Pics? Sounds like an awesome idea.

@weenrock - What swivel did you use for yours? Mines rather tight. Lol.
Anyways here's the pics as promised. I'll make a video tomorrow when I have more time.

That's kind of extreme.
You could've just used a suction mount:
http://www.amazon.com/RAM-B-166-TAB3U-Suction-Tab-Tite-Cradle-Motorola/dp/B004V4N3NW/ref=pd_cp_e_1
I bought one of those for myself.

I'd really like to know how well that suction mount works before trusting a tablet being mounted to it. Please report back after you've got some mileage with this mount in use.

Think there is much difference between the tab holder you used vs this one from RAM? http://www.ram-mount.com/CatalogRes...rtid/082065077045050051052045054/Default.aspx

We understand the concern...that being said the adhesive we use is stronger than most mounts that are either drilled into a wall or suction cup holders. The adhesive is used in industrial applications in place of metal rivots such as holding metal street signs and bonding sheets of metal for trailers. The PadTab would not be worth our time if it didn't do what we say it does. Securing the tablet was our most important goal in addition to allowing it to be mounted.

Well - I just used the one recommended from RAM mounts - Part ID: RAM-B-101U-C
UNPKD. RAM MNT. W/2 2 1/2" BASES & C ARM
It a straight swivel with two ball joints that are coated in rubber to have a very solid grip but easily movable.

This looks like it is a permanent mount...not a suction cup mount. Am I wrong?
So I ordered this mount on Verizon online and is pretty cool and useful. Is a dashboard tape mount and ac vent mount price is $20 (for me was $10 because military discount )

I'm not fond of the cheap mounts. I got the suction mount like I had with my X2, AND... I don't even use it.

Well I hate the windshield mounts. I have a dashboard mount for my increible and Droid 2 and I continue on those. I travel a lot so is way easier for me.

Anyone have any recommendations for a car mount for this table? Hopefully one that mounts to a dash or vents, nothing permanent or sticky. Would like to use it with maps and pandora in conjunction with phone Wifi.
Thanks!

Unfortunately I cannot use a windshield mount. It would cause to much of a blind spot. The other one looks like it's designed for a back seat passenger.
I remember seeing a goose neck style one that bolts onto passenger side seat rails. I think that may be the only option then.
Was hoping proclips had one designed for this tablet.

I used this mount by "The Mount Guys" for my Toshiba Thrive and it worked quite well. I Now have the TF300 and it works for that also. It mounts to the bolt for your front seat. These guys definitely have what your looking for. If you are unsure just give them a call. Here is the link to the one I use: http://www.mountguys.com/product_p/tab-fsm.htm Happy hunting
On Ebay, I think, you can find a car mount that attaches via the slot in a car CD player or similar slot in the console if your car model is designed such that there is a gap. It had that universal type tablet holder for the tablet. That sits lower than a car mount.
